Controls for Guns of Eschaton

What we know about controls so far

Guns of Eschaton is a first-person soulslike shooter built around deliberate combat: parries, dashes, specialized ammunition, and occult abilities all demand precise input. Eschatology Entertainment has confirmed the game for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and the Steam store page lists controller support among its feature tags. Beyond that, the studio has not published a final, platform-by-platform control reference as of the June 2026 announcement.

That gap is normal for a pre-release title with a TBA launch date. Until a playable demo, closed test, or extended gameplay trailer shows on-screen button prompts, any detailed binding chart would be speculative. This page collects what is reasonable to expect from a modern action title in this genre, flags what remains unconfirmed, and explains why reading enemy behavior through the Cherokee Codex matters as much as memorizing keys or face buttons.

If you are preparing early, focus on fundamentals rather than exact mappings: movement, aim, fire, reload, interact, dodge or dash, parry or block, weapon swap, Codex access, and co-op communication. Guns of Eschaton treats every shot as a resource decision; controls should eventually make those decisions fast without hiding critical actions behind awkward combinations. When official layouts arrive, this wiki will update them verbatim.

PC controls (Steam) — expected layout

On PC, Guns of Eschaton will almost certainly ship with fully rebindable keyboard and mouse controls on Steam, consistent with other 4Divinity releases and standard PC action titles. Mouse look for aiming, left click to fire, right click for aim-down-sights or alternate fire depending on weapon design, and scroll wheel or number keys for weapon or ammo cycling are conventional starting points—though none of these bindings are confirmed by the developer yet.

Soulslike-adjacent action games often place dodge or dash on a dedicated key such as Space or Left Shift, parry on a shoulder-style mouse button or key near movement, and interact on E. A hand-drawn Cherokee Codex used to study enemy anatomy and Sequence Points will likely map to a journal key such as Tab or J, but the exact UX is still unknown. Steam Input compatibility may allow PlayStation and Xbox controllers on PC with glyph swapping; again, wait for official confirmation.

Because the Steam page lists SSD storage and mid-range GPU requirements, assume the PC version targets responsive input at 60 frames per second or higher on recommended hardware. Low input latency matters when parrying and dashing are described as calculated, not mash-friendly. Until demo access, treat PC bindings as a planning checklist rather than a final chart.

• Likely supported: mouse and keyboard with remapping (unconfirmed detail level)
• Likely supported: Xbox and PlayStation controllers via Steam Input (unconfirmed)
• Confirmed platform: PC via Steam — wishlist available now
• Unconfirmed: exact default keys for parry, dash, Codex, and occult abilities

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series controls — TBA

Console players should expect a layout familiar from first-person action games on DualSense and Xbox Wireless Controller: right stick to aim, left stick to move, triggers for firing, face buttons for interact, reload, and ability triggers, and bumpers for weapon or ammo selection. Sony and Microsoft certification typically requires clear tutorials and glyph prompts; Guns of Eschaton will likely follow industry norms once gameplay is shown publicly.

No official PS5 or Xbox Series control diagram has been released alongside the announcement trailer. Features such as adaptive trigger resistance on DualSense or Xbox impulse triggers for revolver feedback are possible given the weapon-focused fantasy, but mentioning them here would be guesswork. The honest status is TBA until Eschatology Entertainment or 4Divinity publishes platform-specific materials or a demo.

Co-op and PvP modes described on Steam imply that console players will need accessible ping or emote tools, party invites through platform systems, and stable aim assist policies tuned for deliberate gunfights where every bullet counts. Those details are design choices we cannot document yet. Wishlist on your platform store and watch for future State of Play, Xbox showcase, or developer blog posts.

Accessibility and control options to watch for

Modern action titles increasingly ship with toggle holds, aim assist sliders, colorblind modes, subtitle sizing, and remapping for motor accessibility. Guns of Eschaton has not published an accessibility fact sheet yet. Given the emphasis on studying enemies through the Codex and committing to intentional parries and dashes, players with limited reaction time or single-hand setups will want clear remapping and difficulty assists—features we hope to verify at launch.

Until then, avoid third-party sites advertising "final" control PDFs or APK control overlays for mobile; Guns of Eschaton is not announced for mobile platforms, and scam pages often appear around high-profile Steam wishlist games. Trust only official channels: the Steam store page, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and this wiki once we cite primary sources.
